Geocache Description:


I am replacing this cache in the honor of Manny Gordon, the retired Lackawanna County district forester famous for his urging to "Enjoy, Enjoy" Northeast Pennsylvania's great outdoors, passed away on July 23, 2009 at the age of 97. He will always be remembered by his many friends for his unfailing cheerfulness, his sense of humor and his enduring love of nature. Mr. Gordon, who attended Penn State from 1931 to 1935, was one of the university's oldest living alumni. After graduation, he went to work for the state Bureau of Forestry, where he was in charge of 1.2 million acres of forest in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. His duties included supervision of conservation, fire prevention, fire control, tree planting and public relations. Other accomplishments that Manny was proud of included his work with the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression, and his command of prisoner of war forestry camps in Europe during World War II. Mr. Gordon's catchphrase, "Enjoy, enjoy," was born one day when he was making a short trip to Wysox to deliver a speech. Mr. Gordon was driving along Route 6 and stopped at a lookout point in Wyalusing, Bradford County at a spot Where this cache is placed in his memory. As he stood on rocks high above the Susquehanna River he exclaimed, "You can really enjoy, enjoy this view.'” He got so excited he repeated the word twice. Many of us fondly recall Manny and his unique and energetic directive to “ENJOY, ENJOY the Great Outdoors”. This call to nature still rings true in the minds of many residents of Northeast Pennsylvania, and there is no doubt this is a sentiment that geocachers in particular embrace in the pursuit of their hobby. When you get to the cache you will be seeing what Manny admired. Thanks for Olbluesguy for putting this cache here. It was a shame to learn that someone had to help themselves to Olbluesguy can. There will no longer be a can here for the can thief bandits to take. You are looking for a camouflaged peanut butter jar. Holds some swag, a log & pen. Not far from the parking lot. Please take the time to look at the beautiful view here. Well worth the stop. Keep a watchful eye on children & pets during your visit. Enjoy the hunt.
